PROLOGUE
PRESENT DAY
Anokhi got out of her musings as the bus came to a screeching halt and a loud chorus rang aloud in the bus.The excitement of everyone was apparent.
All the students have arrived here today because the sponsors had wanted the final events of SIAC’s cultural fest to be concluded here.
When the management had been panicking,it had been the director of SIAC Mr Shaurya Sabherwal who had not only managed to secure this sponsorship but he had did it in a way it will not only boost up SIAC’s reputation but garner more media coverage as well.
She stood aside letting Reema take the keys for their room.
Anokhi’s eyes unceremoniously looked around for the vision that had been absent from last 4 days.
4 days of going through motions and never finding a moment of peace and sleep being elusive.
How it could be that she has lived 21 years of her life without being aware of the existence of this man and few days without him she was walking around with this constant realisation of being half of her self.
She had forgotten the times his words has resonated in her ears,how many times she had tangibly felt PS pulling her closer and owning up to what he felt for her.
“I LOVE YOU YOU STUPID GIRL,MAIN SIRF TUMSE PYAAR KARTA HOON ANOKHI,
MAIN KISI AUR SE PYAAR NAHIN KARTA AUR KARNA BHI NAHI CHAHTA,
I LOVE YOU ANOKHI
I ONLY LOVE YOU”
She had dreamed of it,she had imagined it,she had wished for the moment when they both will confess their true feelings to each other.
Her dream did turn into reality but she hadn’t been able to embrace it rather she had ran away from it.
Anokhi strolled around wishing she could just put a lock on the reasonings and facts she knew were true and be selfish.
She didn’t want to think about anyone but him and just be with him.
If Anokhi could she would wrap them in a bubble away from it all.Her fears,the facts she had come to be aware of,the situation they were stuck in every damn obstacle that stood in the way of their togetherness.
But bubbles bursted and hers has as well.
The night air felt really cool on her bare arms and Anokhi knew she had to get out this sombre mood of hers,put this self evasive infliction of pain on hold,plaster a smile and get on with her duties as the festival head bright early morning tomorrow.
As she turned around,she saw the silhouette of a man in the end corner towards the end of the pool.
Her feet moved on her own getting closer and she realised her instinct was true.
It was him,her PS.Her was he ever hers?.
He stood there solemn his eyes having a faraway look in them.
He looked up then but made no move to get closer or talk to her.He just stood there staring at her unblinkingly and appearing as lost as her and ALONE.
It was one word She has never associated with him till now.Ever since she has known Shaurya Sabherwal,he had stood tall.
In the beginning against her then besides her and slowly as their bond has grown deeper He Has Been Her Own Manual Shield Standing In Front Of Her,Protecting Her From Every Harm.
Seeing him this way all her reasons and logics evaporated as she sprinted into a run embracing him as Shaurya staggered back a bit with the impact.
She went on her tippy toes her dainty arms wounding around him tight and secure.
It was few seconds till she felt his arms enclosing around her waist as he pulled her closer still as if trying to entrench her into his being.
She heard him whisper a barely audible “TUM HO” in her ears to which she nodded and pressed her face deeper into his neck.
It has always been His Arms Where She Has Felt The Safest.
Bur nothing could ever describe the feeling of sheer contentment seeping through her as she stood there wholly enveloped in his arms.
She wasn’t cold anymore for his warmth surrounded her,the darkness of the night didn’t matter with his love shining on her.
A Hug did wonders she had read but no words would be able to ever describe how it felt embracing the man you just didn’t love but was the other half of your soul.
Anokhi knew she couldn’t have this forever but she can have this now.
Yes For Now She Will Be Selfish And Have This Moment For Herself Before Reality Intruded.
